[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7784346, member: 6716779"] Darksun and Eberron had separate cosmologies, at least according to their source material. Athas was tenuously connected to the D&D great wheel via dimensional travel. Planescape sorta tried claiming it in their material but TSR had no one directing overall canon and freelancers were doing whatever they wanted towards the end. It's how the got surfing Druids on Athas. Cowabunga. Some settings should be kept away from the others Darksun being a prime example. In 2E a deities death could be localized so if Raven Queen killed Nerull it's only applied to Nerath. Option B is treat Nerath as it's own thing a'la what you should do with Darksun and Eberron. I'm an originalist. If there's contradictions go with the original vs some hacks butchery. If you want to get away from TSR metaplot rather than retcon things reboot back to the original printing updating the mechanics. Minimises upsetting people and you won't miss freelancers or new editions lacklustre efforts at adaption. Doesn't work so well for world's like Krynn that have been blown up a few to many times but Krynn has been awful for a long time now. [/QUOTE]
